JUST IN: A 40-year war may finally be ending.

In northern Iraq, PKK militants have symbolically burned their weapons, beginning a summer-long disarmament process that could close one of the Middle East’s longest-running insurgencies.

🔹40,000+ killed since 1984
🔹PKK is listed as a terror group by Türkiye, US, EU & UK

The ripple effects will be felt across Türkiye, Iraq, Syria & Iran.

A historic shift is underway.
